Russia Vows to Target Tomahawk Missiles if Supplied to Ukraine

US Tomahawk missiles have a range of 2,500 km, far greater than any missile Ukraine currently has in its arsenal.

Russia has issued a stark warning that it will destroy any U.S.-supplied Tomahawk cruise missiles and their launchers should they be delivered to Ukraine. The statement came from Andrei Kartapolov, head of the Russian parliament’s defense committee, who emphasized that Moscow is prepared to neutralize the weapons and retaliate against Washington in ways that “hurt” if such a transfer occurs.

Kartapolov argued that Tomahawks would not alter the battlefield balance, claiming Russia’s military is familiar with the missile system from its operations in Syria. He added that Ukraine would be unable to conceal launch sites, which would become immediate targets for Russian drones and missiles.

The warning follows U.S. President Donald Trump’s remarks that he has “sort of made a decision” on whether to provide the long-range missiles to Kyiv, though he stressed he does not want to escalate the conflict. Russian officials, including Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, have cautioned that supplying Tomahawks would mark a serious escalation and could irreparably damage Moscow’s relationship with Washington.

With a range of up to 2,500 kilometers, Tomahawk missiles would give Ukraine the ability to strike deep into Russian territory, including Moscow. The debate over their potential transfer underscores the growing tension between the U.S. and Russia as the war grinds on.
